I like it, good they aren't giving the main event to Till coming off two losses.

Think Aspinall takes it, but he is unproven in the later rounds. Really can't see him finishing Volkov in the first 1.5 rounds like he has everyone else.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Holy shit what a fucking fight.

Volkov TKO

WHAT? From Shamil to Sergey to now Volkov??? Are you serious?

I love it!

He was never fighting Pavlovich, bud, Pavlovich is fighting Shamil at the same event.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

gonna be a good test on how he can deal with the reach and size. he's gonna need it if he wants to fight the top 3

 

[Siver!]

Bold move

This.

I wonder why this is suddenly a main event, and why Aspinall is no longer able to climb the ranks more slowly?

Anyway, it's a fucking awesome fight.

Very happy to be wrong lol.

Aspinall vs Volkov is gonna be a nice fight. It's a big step up for Tom, who seemed to want to fight up the ranks very slowly. But no complaints from me.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Aspinall should be considerably faster. But damn Volkov is no easy task.. huge step up.

 

[VinceArch]

Damn good fight.

No he was, a long while ago. Originally it was gonna be Aspinal vs Pavlovich.

Tom Aspinall UFC Run:

Jake Collier ----> Alan Baudot ----> Andrei Arlovski ----> Sergey Spivak ----> Volkov?

No one Aspinall has faced in the UFC is currently ranked.

Aspinall has only been out of the first round once in the past six years. I don't doubt he has the skills to put Volkov away early but if he does not this fight is not going to end well for him.

The UFC is doing him a huge disservice booking him in a 5 round fight against the second best technical striker in the division who went 5 rounds without issue two fights ago.

He's not your bud, guy.

this is interesting.
They're really throwing Aspinall in there with a top contender.
If Aspinall wins this fight.... he's gotta be in contention for a title-shot within maybe 1 or 2 more fights. Maybe late in 2022? He really is promising.

I don't see him beating Volk tho.

The buck stops here.

It's a big step up for Aspinall for sure. Volkov is a huge tall dude and quite serious.
Well...it's an *opportunity* for Tom, and i'm sure he'll take it very seriously. Sooner or later you gotta just in the deep end of the pool and see if you sink or swim.....

 

[Question]

Big fucking test here. Holy shit!
Idk Volkov looked like shit last time around, but he's still had a decent performance against Gane and Overeem last year.
I can't choose right now, I am rooting for Aspinall though.
